What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice!!!

 

As long as the tread is good enough quality I see going to a less wide tire is better also. The only concern for me would be cornering and traction. And the amount of load that the tires can handle compared to their wider tires. it would probably be less since it has less rubber. But if that’s not a concern then it’s a great idea!

 

It’s via Bluetooth, and the Garmin app.
You download the video to phone
/computer and you can edit . That was just a 10sec clip from a longer drive. You can view camera live view from your phone while driving . Only issue I have is , I have wireless car play via Bluetooth and the Garmin is Bluetooth as well. So I have to turn off my head unit or it wants to connect and override the camera connection.
You can also take the camera of its mount and do all your downloads out of the truck, super easy. I bought the polarized lens for it and it helps with glare.

 

Any pictures from the front or back was looking to get 235's for my next tire

 

235/85/16 Duratracs

 

Contact areas are very similar because the narrower tire has a longer contact patch than the wider tire.

 

Installed these replacement radio knobs. I think they are the Rav4 knobs. Found this mod on here. Not a big deal but I do like the looks and they are easier to grab.

 

There is a very large thread called “the skinny on skinny tires” where one can read for hours….and hours…
I agree that the gross contact area under a tire won’t be too far off the vertical load the wheel is supporting divided by the tire pressure. Unless you have a lot of vertical acceleration, (bouncing) that’s not going to vary much.

 

Soon!

 

Should be interesting.

Looks good. Are you running a spacer? They fill the wheel wells more than I thought.

 

No spacers, ome 886/Dakar HD and pac brake airbags, stock trd or wheels

 

makes it easier to add power accessories, like audio amps, winches, lights.

 

Nice. I have Bilstein 5100s 887/icon but they have started to sag in the front with time and weight of full steel skids and sliders.How do you like the 886 for extra weight? I’m running 285/75/16 with a 1.25 spacer on stock Trd wheel as well. Took spacer and some cutting and trimming to work off roading.

 

No issues with the 886 and they ride great. Bumper winch and full steel skids with no sag. I had the same on my second gen with an arb bumper and winch. They were on there for thirteen years and didn't sag.. I work in the bush so they see lots of forestry roads and exploration trails.

 

Hey there, no worries, too many posts to scrounge through anyway.

At the moment, I'm not running this tire/wheel setup. Only because some friends from Supreme Suspensions asked to use my truck for SEMA this past year, and they've got a deal with Hostile and Falken. So the truck is currently running Hostile Mojave wheels with Falken Wildpeak MT 35s.

To your actual questions though, suspension is fox 2.5s front and rear, Supreme UCAs, Supreme supplemental spacers (add a little more lift up front without having to over-preload the coil overs), Deavers out back. At the time of this Pic, the front of the truck was at about 3.25" of lift, with the rear being around 2.5"

I can't say much about trimming. Prior to going up to the pictured tires (which are pretty much 34s) I was running skinny 33's, and had done the cab mount chop just as a preventative measure. I had also already damaged the front bumper, so I did the viper cut thing. And I can't say much about the inner fenders, because one REALLY good send with the 33s and the bumps not set right ripped those out a long time ago.

Honestly depends how you're wheeling, and if you're wheeling. Overall though I've seen a good handful of people run this combination without major trimming and be pretty happy with it if not really wheeling hard.

My H11 to H9 adapters arrived yesterday. New bulbs arrive tomorrow. Hopefully it is warm enough this weekend to install them.

Just got back from a Costa Rican wedding vacation. I got to say, I saw some cool 3rd gen Tacoma's.
Lots of Helix, Nissan's and even a few Chevy trucks. Tons of Toyota SUV's
Id guess that every other vehicle has some sort off-road related items. Most vehicles had roof racks with black abs style water tanks.
Probably one out of twenty had roof top or bed top tents as well.
Below is a GoPro video I put together of the trip.
Pretty cool stuff.
